Teamwork: Six teams set our evolution in motion by getting feedback from many of you and analyzing and identifying the changes that need to take place to bridge the “gap” between where Girl Scouts is today and where we want to be in the future. Five teams were responsible for implementing one of the strategic priorities; the sixth focused on ways to improve our culture.
